Boqueria Market
Dating back to 1217, the Boqueria Market began as an open-air meat market where pigs were bought and sold. It grew to include butchers and fishmongers, and in 1914 construction began and the metal roof that still exists today was erected. Considered Barcelona's most central produce market, the stalls showcase Catalonia's gastronomical specialties, a bounty of the finest vegetables and fruits as well as pungent cheeses, savoury meats and delectable sweets.
